hi Philippe,

Looking at your idea, brings me on another idea.
Shouldn't it be possible to build another wire-follower, consisting of
just 1 wire, fed by a DC source and a measured with a Hall-sensor?


That might work, but getting a high enough field to be detected and be
immune to external sources (including earth magnetic field!) would require a
LARGE current, not very practical...

Unfortunately, I think you're right :-(
But if you never shoot, you won't hit anything.
